Mar 28, 2009 12 oz bottle - Pours a slightly cloudy deep amber color with tiny off white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is full of rich, deep caramel, vanilla, oak, orangel peel, faint citrusy hops. Flavor is rich with chewy malts, caramel, oak. Finish is mildly sweet, palate is just a bit thin. This is pretty decent, however this is definitely a barleywine in style.

Mar 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep copper orange color, minimal head. Flavor is heavily caramelized malts, followed by strong bittering hops that are primarily grassy and a bit piney. Finish is very grassy, but not in a bad way, and slightly soft. Full bodied for this style of beer. Holy shit, I just looked at the ABV, had no idea this is 13%! Alcohol is completely hidden, no notes of it at all. Overall a solid beer, watch out this stuff will creep on you!

Mar 5, 2009 Pours a dark hazy amber with strong aroma of citrus hops. Hints of caramel, fruit, and alcohol. A bit warm in the mouth and throat, but leaves a very nice hoppy taste in the mouth afterward. Take time to drink this beer.

Mar 2, 2009 12oz. bottle, Pours dark amber, orange. No foaming, no head. Strong citrus/floral aroma. Taste is brutal, wonderful, hop bitterness is not for the faint of heart, the alcohol presence is obvious. Strong finish, over the top hops, lovely. Good DIPA

Feb 15, 2009 12oz bottle from hannont, big thanks Todd. Murky brown pour. Sweet malty citrusy aroma, very interesting. Not alot of hop character left on this bad boy, more like a barley wine now. Very smooth and malty, with just a little bit of hops in the finish, quite tasty.
